Originally posted by @fmfI would require a conviction in the court of law.
I asked you: What evidence would you require?
No, I said nothing about it being "enough to convict". But, with reference to the accusations, you ask "No evidence is required?" Are you saying that testimony itself is not evidence?
Originally posted by @eladarAre we talking consent to marry?
It was 16 in the 70s. How recent is recent?
Interestingly marriages for under 16 year-olds in Alabama are not void.
Originally posted by @fmfI personally think Moore was an unusually ugly politician with ugly ideas and an ugly track record. You may disagree. But is it perhaps a good thing ~ politically speaking ~ for conservative Christians in the U.S. that such a high profile political liability has not succeeded in raising that profile even higher by installing it onto the national stage?
Is he involved in a "spiritual battle" with those who want to silence Christians in Alabama?

Originally posted by @fmfIt looks like this particular assswipe has lost and Jones, democrat, has won! Maybe the moral conscious of the US isn't that bad after all. Moore was especially egredgious though. He only lost by about 20,000 odd votes. Slim win for Jones.

Can you believe Moore? His wife says 'we are not prejudiced, we have a Jewish friend". There is one person who would have been better to just keep quiet🙂

Elader, you realize that you are now sounding like vintage American liberalism?
"If I have a right to do it, then it is right to do it."
I speak of a 30 year old man trying to hit on a teenage girl because he has a right to do so.

Originally posted by @sonhouseThat's not an all that helpful comment as far as I'm concerned.

Politics is politics - unfair, unforgiving, sneaky, dirty.
Politics is full of dirty tricks on every and both sides PERIOD.
Where there's smoke there may be some fire.
Thirty years ago is pretty long ago.
Abe Lincoln probably did some dirt 30 years before he was elected.
This candidate, irrespective of bad behavior in that realm, has done other things since then which do not endear him to some voters.

No voting for gays? No voting for those who practice non marital sex?
He did nothing illegal. Bill Clinton on the other hand did commit illegal acts.
But hey Bubba is above the law.
Btw, if Moore was an establishment type he would have easily won even if he did rape girls.
